    Rosso, 11 Nov 2021What's the point of having a dislike button if it'... moreTo answer your question: dislike button tells the algorithm that you don't like this video.
    Unfortunately, youtube algorithms are messed up beyond hell, so that even clicking on a video will spawn lots and lots of similar videos in your recommendations despite having clicked dislike.
    If you don't know, the most known youtuber made a troll video asking people to dislike it. It had 5\95% ratio last time I checked, and it still showed in recommendations (even for me).

            Another THINKOFTHECHILDREN bullshit decision. Maybe to increase revenue and appease advertisers.

              Lets go Brandon!

                The owners of thousands of propaganda/misinformations/dictatorship channels are now totally happy - they are now free to push crap with even more ardour than before.

                Sarcasm aside this decision is absolutely horrible and asinine. You could excuse them if they hid likes as well but no, only dislikes.

                  [deleted post]True. YouTube attacking the audience's freedom of expression by simply removing the feature

                    for respect?? today an YouTuber from Indonesia is going viral making content about "Ducati WSBK bike review" he has already received criticism from netizens because it's an illegal act I don't think this respect deserve to him.

                        The day they implement this new, so-called safety feature, I will uninstall YouTube from all my phones or stop using it

                          [deleted post]Exactly

                            🤣🤣 i see that coming ! And the main reason of hiding dislikes is when biden go live , all he get is dislike ! Nothing more ! Nothing less ! 🤭
                            Censor ! Its about censoring those who dislike biden !

                              Safe environment to express :- commenting "kill all terrorists" on two terrorist attack news videos and getting account blocked.
                              Now I am safe from terrorists . Maybe.🤔
                              Or maybe it was for terrorists to safely express themselves.

                                If that's the case both the LIKES AND DISLIKES should be hidden.

                                    We shall fight back in the comment section, so we can like 'negative comments' there.
